So the site that says:
 "V3.9 (and bug fixes to it) is the last feature release of SimH that
will be hosted at this web site. All future versions can be found in
a public source repository <https://github.com/simh/simh>." has the most
recent release of the tools... :-(

The one that I only visit for the non-code items...Bob's papers, etc.

Hopefully Mark will merge the tools into the repo.

BTW, a quick glance shows that mtdump clears the error bit before
comparing a metadata word for 0 (tape mark.)

This is incorrect.  A tape mark is 32-bits of zero.  0x80000000 is an
invalid encoding and should be reported as
a format error.  (It indicates a length of zero with an error, but the
record length field must be non-zero.)

Sigh.
